Appwrite MCP server
FeaturedAppwrite MCP server Details
Appwrite MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that enables AI models to interact with Appwrite’s backend. It provides a curated set of MCP tools to manage databases, users, functions, teams, and more within your Appwrite project, enabling powerful AI-assisted workflows and natural-language interactions with your backend. The server ships with the Databases tools enabled by default to keep prompts within context limits and can be extended by enabling additional APIs via command-line flags. This makes it easier to build AI-powered applications that leverage Appwrite APIs securely and efficiently.
Use Case
This MCP server enables AI-powered applications to interact with Appwrite APIs through natural language prompts. By exposing a controlled set of APIs (tools) to the MCP, developers can build assistants, copilots, or automation that can read/write databases, manage users and teams, handle storage, and more, all within the Appwrite ecosystem. The server supports enabling additional tools/APIs via flags, and various IDE integrations (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code) provide seamless configuration and usage patterns.
Usage examples from the documentation:
uvx mcp-server-appwrite [args]pip install mcp-server-appwritepython -m mcp_server_appwrite [args]--tables-db Enables the TablesDB API

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this your MCP?
Claim ownership and get verified badge
Note: The default Appwrite MCP server ships with only the Databases tools enabled to stay within token/context window limits. Additional tools can be enabled by using the flags below. When an MCP tool is enabled, the tool's definition is passed to the LLM, using tokens from the model's available context window. If you see uvx ENOENT, ensure uvx is in PATH or use the full path to uvx.
Before launching the MCP server, you must setup an Appwrite project and create an API key with the necessary scopes enabled.
